...example, now exports more to China than it does to the United States. But developing nations have been anything but safe havens in the recent turmoil, indicating that the decoupling theory will now be tested with a vengeance. "There's no question the slump in the US will have hurt [Asia's] exports," says Shanghai-based economist Andy Xie. Morgan Stanley's Roach believes decoupling is "one of those nice theories you hear at the top of market bubbles." The fact is, Roach argues, "that Asian consumers are too small to make up for the void created by U.S. consumption...

When the new, supersized Airbus A380 underwent mandatory evacuation tests in 2006, 33 of the 873 evacuating volunteers got hurt. One suffered a broken leg, and the remaining 32 received slide burns. And that was considered a success...
...closing days before the primary. The Huckabee campaign had no solution for Thompson, who barely polled within striking distance of second place and was seen by some as a foil for McCain, with whom he is friends. "Fred Thompson, John McCain's lapdog, came down here and definitely hurt the Huckabee vote, no doubt about that," said former South Carolina Gov. David Beasley, who chaired the Huckabee campaign here, after the loss...
